    Solution

    The correct statement is that the PSUs aim to cover 15,350 hectares in the next five years, employing reforestation techniques like the Miyawaki method, seed balls, and drone technology. Option A is incorrect because the Vriksharopan Abhiyan 2024 took place at 300 locations in 47 districts across 11 coal- and lignite-rich states, not 47 locations in 300 districts. Option B is incorrect because the initiative involves local communities, schools, and NGOs to raise environmental awareness and create green jobs, not solely focusing on planting saplings. Option C is incorrect because on the launch day, about a million saplings were planted, not 24 million. The 24 million saplings were planted over the last five years. Option E is incorrect because the goal for the current fiscal year is to cover 2,600 hectares, not 10,942 hectares, and the focus is on planting local species, not non-native species. Therefore, the most accurate statement is Option D, reflecting the true goals and methods of the Vriksharopan Abhiyan 2024 initiative.
